Encephalopathy in Hashimoto's Thyroiditis: A Case Report

Arbatauskaite Laura , Galinyte Kristina , Navardauskaite Ruta

Introduction: Hashimoto's autoimmune thyroiditis is the primary cause of acquired hypothyroidism, with encephalopathy being a rare complication, particularly in children. Early and accurate diagnosis is crucial, as appropriate treatment is usually successful, while untreated cases can result in permanent impairment.Case presentation: A 17-year-old girl complained of numbness on the right side of her body and tongue,...

Double Pituitary gland-pulse syndrome ((DPG)-plus syndrome) and idiopathic infantile hypercalcemia: a combination of rare disorders- Case report and review of literature

Alyahyawi Naseem , Stewart Laura

(DPG)-plus syndrome is a rare craniofacial anomaly. It usually occurs in combination with other craniofacial defects. The etiology of this condition remains unknown. Survivors to late childhood have either preserved pituitary function or central precious puberty. Idiopathic infantile hypercalcemia (IHH) is another rare condition that predominantly affects infants. The co-occurrence of (DPG)-plus syndrome and IIH has not been reported previously. We will also present a case rep...

17q12 Deletion and a Family History of Diabetes

Kasongo Laura , Nicolescu Ramona

Introduction: 17q12 deletion syndrome is associated with an enlarging phenotype, the most frequent clinical findings being renal and genitourinary malformations, diabetes mellitus (β-cell developmental defect) and exocrine pancreas deficiency, variable cognitive impairment with dysmorphic features.Diabetes, known as MODY 5 (maturity-onset diabetes of the young), is an autosomal dominant monogenic type and the most commonly identi...

Bilateral Hip Pain as First Symptomatic Expression of Severe Primary Hypothyroidism

Kasongo Laura , Nicolescu Ramona

Introduction: Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease is an idiopathic osteonecrosis of the femoral head with uncoupling of bone resorption and formation, presenting as unilateral involvement in most children. Symmetric involvement suggests other conditions: skeletal dysplasia, osteonecrotic entities including hypothyroidism, Gaucher's disease, glycogen storage defects, sickle cell anemia.Case presentation: We present a case...

Neonatal Failure to Thrive and Dyselectrolytemia – Not Always a Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia

Kasongo Laura , Nicolescu Ramona

Background: Pseudohypoaldosteronism (PHA) is a rare entity inducing, in case of late or missed diagnosis, life-threatening clinical and biochemical complications.Objective and hypotheses: To report a case of 4-week-old boy with failure to thrive, dehydration, hyponatremia, hyperkalemia, metabolic acidosis. The first diagnosis was congenital adrenal hyperplasia, but in the evolution, the right diagnosis of PHA was retained.Method: T...

Neonatal Haematological Complication in Noonan Syndrome – Future Concerns about Growth Hormone Therapy

Kasongo Laura , Nicolescu Ramona

Background: Noonan syndrome (NS) is an autosomal-dominant inherited condition defined clinically by a short stature, specific phenotype, congenital heart disease, bleeding and hematologic abnormalities (particularly leukaemia). There is also a genetic heterogeneity, with all mutations involved in the RAS/mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase pathway and with PTPN11 gene mutations counting for almost 50% of patients.Objective and hypotheses: To describe ...

Clinical Characteristics of Girls with Atypical Precocious Puberty

Mawer Laura , Willemsen Ruben

Background: Precocious puberty, pubertal development in girls before 8 years, has considerable biological, psychosocial, and long-term health implications. It is classically ascribed to the premature activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary–gonadal axis, and hence an LH response >5 U/l in the LHRH test. Whilst this group of patients is well understood, there is a paucity of literature characterising patients who show pubertal development not driven by LH, atypical pre...

Influence of Newborn and Maternal Factors on Neonatal Body Composition

Breij Laura , Hokken-Koelega Anita

Background: There is increasing evidence that body composition in early life has both immediate and long-term influence on health. Air-displacement plethysmography creates the opportunity to study the effect of prenatal and early postnatal factors on neonatal body composition. Prenatal maternal factors, such as pre-pregnancy BMI and gestational weight gain, might also influence neonatal body composition.Objective and Hypotheses: We hypothesized that newb...

Management of Graves' Disease

Cheetham Tim , Lane Laura , Wood Claire

Managing Graves' disease (GD) should be simple. Stop the immune system from targeting the TSH receptor and the disease is cured. Unfortunately this is not yet feasible in most young people and GD is not a trivial condition for those affected. There are significant advantages and disadvantages of all current treatments with no easy way forwards for many and the family's decisions will reflect their perceptions of medical, radiation and surgical risk. The fact that two o...

Congenital Hypothyroidism – Precise Diagnosis with Dual Imaging

Kasongo Laura , Rausin Leon , Nicolescu Ramona

Introduction: Primary congenital hypothyroidism (PCH), defined as thyroid hormone deficiency, can be viewed as an anatomical, clinical, biochemical and radiological spectrum.Its etiology includes thyroid dysgenesis (85%) with defects in thyroid gland development and thyroid dyshormonogenesis (15%) with inborn error of thyroxine synthesis or release.There is growing evidence that precise characterization of ...
